Episode 18
Tango as Medicine — Listening to the Body’s Language Through Movement with Diana Devi
In this captivating conversation, host Jennifer Nagel sits down with Diana Devi, a clinical pharmacist and Argentine tango dancer, to explore how movement becomes a pathway for emotional healing and connection. Together, they uncover how tango — with its rhythm, attunement, and deep presence — serves as a language of experience, helping us listen more closely to what our bodies already know.
Whether you’ve ever danced tango or not, this episode invites you to move beyond words and into the wisdom of your own body — to notice how each step, pause, and breath can open a doorway to greater awareness and healing.
What You’ll Hear:
• Embodiment as Medicine: How movement can transform stuck emotions into flow and aliveness.
• The Science and Soul of Healing: Bridging clinical understanding with the intuitive language of the body.
• The Power of Presence: What tango teaches us about listening, attunement, and connection — within and between.
• The Dance of Relationship: How leading and following mirror our inner dynamics and relational patterns.
• Small Steps, Big Shifts: Healing often begins by simply allowing the body to lead.
Reflective Prompt:
As you move through your day, pause and notice:
Where is your body asking to lead you?
It might be through a stretch, a sigh, a walk, or a moment of stillness.
What happens when you let your body — not your mind — take the first step?
